What guests are saying:
“Only one night, on the first day I arrived late and I could not meet the owner Mayumi, but when I saw the messages of past guests in the inn hall, I lost the opportunity to talk with interesting people I regretted that. Fortunately, before leaving the next morning, Mayumi came to the coffee ceremony and talked for a short while. I recommend it because it is a very comfortable hotel and the owner is bright.”

“The house was indeed very old but lovely. Be prepared to snuggle at night because it could get cold. Japanese houses were not very well insulated. You can warm up with hot showers in the public bath house near by or by using the heated blanket in the living room. We enjoyed our stay. The staff was very kind and we could manage everything without knowing too much Japanese.”

“I’ve stayed at a lot of Airbnbs over the years (have been a user for 4+ years) and have stayed in various accommodations on my own account or those of friends in over a dozen countries across Asia, Europe, Africa, and The Americas. The experience I had at the Sakura River Inn was by far the best of any Airbnb thus far. The space itself is wonderful and the location is super convenient (near restaurants, bus stops, metro, bike rentals, grocery stores, shopping, tourist sites, etc.). That said, what makes this Airbnb truly stand out is the hosts. When we arrived, Andrea was waiting for us in the unit and he took the time to personally give us a tour of the space, explaining how everything worked. Moreover, he had prepared multiple maps as well as a guide book that included things like his recommended restaurants, creative ideas for daily itineraries, and even walked us through the appropriate transit options to get us from one place to another. And if that superb service somehow wasn’t enough, he was also super responsive over chat after he had left. My father was curious about a good place to buy some local tea and so we thought to ask Andrea and not only did he respond promptly, but he provided three different options (at different price points and distances), laid out the pros and cons, and provided directions to each. This was the best of Airbnb and reminded me of why I fell in love with the platform in the first place. Solid 11/10. We had initially planned to stay only 3 nights and Andrea’s fantastic input resulted in us extending our stay by an additional 2 nights (which ended up being our favourite in Kyoto). I genuinely would not stay anywhere else.”
